Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather. Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance. Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints: Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy. Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption. Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35C during drying.
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power
supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside. Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

Hints & Tips on Drying
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying. Care Labels you may find on your laundry may be tumble dried normal drying (high temperature) delicate drying (low temperature) do not tumble dry Do not overload the appliance. Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items. Sheet 700 to 1000 g Pillowcase 100 to 200 g Tablecloth 400 to 500 g Table Napkin 50 to 100 g Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g Hand Towel 150 to 250 g Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g Shirt 200 to 300 g Apron 150 to 200 g
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time. DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water. Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons. Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately. Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished. Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin). Mix the load i.e. large and small articles. When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load. DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following: Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer. Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying. Very delicate articles such as silk. Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.

Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.
After a while, a whitish film due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters (specially the filter in the door opening) with warm water using a brush. Remove it as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter. Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.

kg 2,5 kg 1

Do not use the appliance without filters.
Cleaning the condenser unit

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth.
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a year depending on how frequently the dryer is used. The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as per picture.
To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops inwards as shown and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle.
The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
It is quite normal to find droplets of water on top of or at the front of the condenser unit. This is not a fault with the appliance.

Page 10

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if necessary.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff. Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth. Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door. Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted.

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly. Push it until it clicks. After inserting the reservoir the programme will continue after about 20 seconds. Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the appliance.
Emptying the water reservoir
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir. The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light on the control panel comes on and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a programme. Proceed as follows: Open the small door at the lower part of the cabinet Turn the yellow stop upwards Pull out the reservoir Open the small cover and let water flow down Close the small cover and re-insert correctly the reservoir Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow stop downwards to lock firmly it Close the small door and press the START/PAUSE button again to allow the programme to continue.

Unpacking

Warning !

Slide out the polythene bag containing the polystyrene block before using the appliance. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum.
Stacking kit (optional accessory)
It should be possible to stack your new dryer on top of a front loading washing machine with a worktop depth of between 48 and 60 cm. The instructions are supplied with the kit. Please contact your local Service Force Centre for further advice.
Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Please contact the nearest Service Force Centre. This will be a chargeable option.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine. To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface. Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is. The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures. When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5C and higher than +35C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance. 14

About this document

The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessment undertaken by a qualified assessor, accredited by Elmhurst Energy Systems, to a scheme authorised by the Government. This certificate was produced using the RdSAP 2005 assessment methodology and has been produced under the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 as amended. A copy of the certificate has been lodged on a national register. Assessors accreditation number: Assessors name: Company name/trading name: Address: Phone number: Fax number: E-mail address: Related party disclosure: EES/001017 Colin John Smithson-Connelly Sycamore Energy Assessors Limited Sycamore Lodge, 20 Chapel Lane, Wymondham, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, LE14 2AA colin.sea@btinternet.com
If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine
Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are as above. You can get contact details of the accreditation scheme from their website at www.elmhurstenergy.co.uk together with details of their procedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.
About the buildings performance ratings
The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and its environmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average Energy Efficiency Rating for a dwelling in England and Wales is band E (rating 46). Not all buildings are used in the same way, so energy ratings use 'standard occupancy' assumptions which may be different from the specific way you use your home. Different methods of calculation are used for homes and for other buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd. Buildings that are more energy efficient use less energy, save money and help protect the environment. A building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbon emissions. The potential ratings on the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all the cost effective recommended improvements were implemented.
About the impact of buildings on the environment
One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildings causes emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over a quarter of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further one-sixth. The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting the recommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions even more by switching to renewable energy sources. In addition there are many simple everyday measures that will save money, improve comfort and reduce the impact on the environment. Some examples are given at the end of this report.

Enhanced energy efficiency rating Enhanced environmental impact (CO 2) rating

B 85 B 81

Improvements to the energy efficiency and environmental impact ratings will usually be in step with each other. However, they can sometimes diverge because reduced energy costs are not always accompanied by a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions.

About the cost effective measures to improve this homes energy ratings
If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work.
Lower cost measures (typically up to 500 each)
These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward, and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice before carrying out DIY improvements.

1 Loft insulation

Loft insulation laid in the loft space or between roof rafters to a depth of at least 270 mm will significantly reduce heat loss through the roof; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. Insulation should not be placed below any cold water storage tank, any such tank should also be insulated on its sides and top, and there should be boarding on battens over the insulation to provide safe access between the loft hatch and the cold water tank. The insulation can be installed by professional contractors but also by a capable DIY enthusiast. Loose granules may be used instead of insulation quilt; this form of loft insulation can be blown into place and can be useful where access is difficult. The loft space must have adequate ventilation to prevent dampness; seek advice about this if unsure. Further information about loft insulation and details of local contractors can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).
